Reminder: Change your spare tire lug wrench when changing wheel sizes!
 
When the 18's were swapped out for 19's, I didn't swap the spare tire lug wrench. Almost needless to say, I got a flat the other day and was unable to change my tire. I had to wait a bit for one of my friends to get there with tools to change the tire. Anyone now the part number for the lug wrench for the 19" wheels? This is on a 2001 4.4. Thanks!

Do you have OEM 19" wheels? Did you use new lug nuts on the 19s? I swap out my 17" wheels with OEM 19s and reused the lug nuts. Am I missing something?

The rear 19" use the same lugs but they are countersunk into the rim more than the 18" or 17" rims. I never even thought about this, but it makes sense that a lug wrench for an 18" rim might not work on a 19" rim if the depth of the shaft isn't long enough. :doh:

When I bolted on the 19s, I first used the lug wrench that came with the truck to tighten everything up, then finished it off with a torque wrench. I didn't noticed anything unusual with the rears (I have the 132s if it makes any difference).

The original rims were style 57 18's. The current rims are 19 inch style 63's (from sport model; not sure if they're oem).

I'm not sure if different lugs were used; and if they were I don't know why.

EDIT: How can I tell if they are original or not?
